Biodiversity Showcase Garden

The Biodiversity Showcase Garden is an educational garden showcasing indigenous biodiversity from the Cape floristic region and biomes within South African, as well as demonstrating environmentally responsible gardening practices. It was developed as part of the Green Goal initiative linked to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The themes presented in the garden include “people and plants”, which includes the lifestyles of Khoikhoi herders and early Cape settlers; “discover biodiversity”, which explains the distinctiveness of Cape biodiversity and threats to it; and a “wetland walk”, which recalls the seasonal wetland landscape formerly associated with Green Point Common.
